My GPU was broken, after changing it to 960, the problem was fixed.

I installed win 7, checked with 4 different versions of drivers, in all of them, exactly after I install the driver and restart the PC, in like 2 minutes after windows load, the screen goes black and the GPU fan stops working. If I do not install the driver, GPU fans works for hours, but the problem only happens when I install any driver. Should I be 100 percent sure that the GPU is broken now? ?

Wow, how could you really! But as I see, you have resources to actually test and make sure that everything is fine. I even don't know how to check. Like I do not have spare GPU to make sure that the problem is even from that. Or do not have a setup that I would be sure everything is working to test the GPU alone. But you are right, if it comes to buying another GPU, I will pick an option that is cheaper...

I am downloading Windsows7 as the guy told me he has no problem on windows7 and installed windows 10 just when he wanted to sell the PC. The problem is that the guy was very reasonable and even I turned on the PC there, played a game, and everything was fine. The problem comes randomly after like 10 minutes or one hour.

I want to make sure that the GPU has a problem. What happens if I buy another GPU and the problem continues... And I will not but used hardware anymore. It was my first and last time!

Unfortunately, I do not have another GPU. How can I make sure that the GPU is the problem? The motherboard doesn't have GPU either.

Does nobody know the problem or nobody wants to make me upset? it's weird

Hello, I just bought a used PC with Zotac GTX 760 GPU, the previous owner said he had the PC for two years without any problem. But when I want to use the PC or play a game, the GPU fan stops working and at the same time, my screen goes to black. meanwhile, all other parts of the PC keep working. (The GPU does not overheat, I kept monitoring) I also take out the GPU and put it back and checked all the cables. I am 80 percent sure, but I want to be 100 percent sure. Is the GPU dead? (I searched the internet a lot, but nobody had the same issue as me. My problem occurs completely randomly.) PS: I just spoke to the guy that I bought the PC from. He was confident that there isn't a problem with the PC. And told me they were using Windows 7 at that time, that could be my problem? Thanks in advance.

Without changing the PSU?

Thanks man, So it is do-able... I think I am going to go with it.

Well with this system I could get a decent tower with 300$. But there are not any other options to be even close! I just got a headache! ?

If I change my PSU, Can I put a more powerful GPU as well? Something like the RX560?

This is the case: https://www.cnet.com/products/lenovo-thinkcentre-m91p-sff-core-i5-2400-3-1-ghz-4-gb-320-gb-4518a31/

Yeah, Just one more question, How should I know that a graphics card will be compatible with my motherboard? Like this one, https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N6NI5X6/ref=dp_prsubs_2?th=1&tag=linus21-20 Also, The GPU only need to be Low Profile? Because in some of the images, the brackets look a bit taller than it needs to be...

Yeah, I see that now! It almost to good to be true! And I do not need to upgrade my PSU? I think I am going to go with Rx 560 Is this the right product? https://www.amazon.com/MSI-R5604TPC-560-Graphic-Cards/dp/B07B7YMBFC

Where can I buy one! I am more of an Nvidia guy, but I can not find 750ti anywhere!!

It is what it says here, AC 120/230 V (50/60 Hz)

Well, I haven't bought it yet. So I am not sure... I maybe upgrade to SSD in the future. For now, I want to know which graphic cards I could put it the PC. Basically, If the motherboard supports good graphics cards?

Well It is going to be much more than 150$ ? Is the motherboard capable of putting 1060 on it? It will be going to need a new PSU, right?

Hello, I think I found a good deal on "Lenovo Think Centre M91p SFF Model: 4518-E4U", the specs are: 1 PCI Express 16x Slot 2 PCI slots Intel i5-2400 3.1 GHz 500 Gig Western Digital Sata Hard Drive 8 Gigs DDR3 Ram And it is a Small Form Factor, So I need a low-profile GPU. I want to know is it possible to get a decent performance? I am not really sure about the PSU but I am open to upgrading the PSU as well. The PC is 120$, I will be able to put like 150$ for upgrading GPU & PSU. I know that it is an old PC but I can not afford more. I will be glad if anybody could help me on what GPU I can get. Or any other idea. Thanks in advance.

I wish I had the budget to buy this monitor Do you think is it a mistake to get a half-height case? Is it going to be a problem in the future? (in case of upgradeability)

Hello guys, I am really new to building a PC, so sry if I ask too many questions. I want to play games (mainly CS:GO) and all I need is a decent fps around 150 to play the game smoothly on low settings. I saw a used OptiPlex 790 (Desktop size) Core i5-2400/8GB DDR3/500GB HDD with a Dell Full HD 22'' monitor for 250 CAD. So I taught it would be great if I could get a decent GPU and also replace the PSU to get good performance. But the problem is that according to the PCs specs: 1 half height PCIe x16 1 half height PCIe x16 (wired x 4) <-- whatever this means 1 half height PCIe x1 1 half height PCI It has Half-Height PCIe slots. Do you think if this is going to be a problem in the future? Because I am planning to upgrade more way into the future (when I get like less than 40 FPS with current one : ) Do you think I can even do something like this and get decent performance and does it even make sense? And if yes, do you have any low profile GPU that could be good? Thanks in advance for your help. PS. All the way I assumed that the CPU and RAM are going to be good enough. PS2. My maximum budget is around 500 CAD and I also need a monitor.
